Three men are in jail on heroin possession charges after trying to get away from police.

According to the Winnebago County Sheriff's Office, deputies tried to pull over a car with Edward Parchman, Darius Dickens, and Orentho Hurd inside. Officials say the driver of the car crashed into a median, flattening both tires and continued to try and get away. Soon after, officials say it crashed into another car on East State Street and Perryville Road.

A Rockford police officer helped with the arrests. During the search, deputies found heroin. The three men are being held in the Winnebago County Jail.
